"With original plans having been fluked by torrential rains, I was able to capture this image from Stonehenge. Not an easy capture. With the change in light, it was possible to capture Venus for a short time before setting. What made it more special was the thin, crescent moon that joined the parade to make for a stunning sight and planetary gathering."
